Confidence: high.

Better served than 70 % of the 15,155 communes of a similar size.

Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.

Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate

An average of 27 days a year at or above 30 °C and 3 days at or below 0 °C, over 10 complete years in 1995–2024. ^[10]

Measured at the CAGNANO_OBS weather station, 6 km away at 190 m; the village itself is at 313 m. ^[10]

The village sits 123 m above the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 4.13 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[10]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 21 days a summer. ^[10]

Humidity measured at CAP CORSE, 14.1 km away at 72 m, over 28 summers. ^[10]

That station sits 241 m below the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 5.63 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[10]

An average of 807 mm of rain a year, spread over 73 days — about 11.1 mm on a day it rains. ^[10]

Rainfall measured at LURI LICETTO, 3.6 km away at 315 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[10]
